Topic: Food is more than a combination of nutrients. What we eat has important significance for memories and collective identity. In this paper, you are asked to write about a food that has special meaning to you. Think hard about your own personal food. It can be a family meal at a holiday or a simple snack. You can even try to taste your food before writing if you have a chance. What images, associations, or memories does this food bring back? It can be positive or negative.

Try thinking about your food in these terms:

How did you come to try this food? Family, accident, or whatever
Is it positive, negative, or in-between?
Is it homemade or commercial?
Is it a food associated with an ethnic group, region, age, gender, religion, or class?
Does eating this make you a part of a group? Or does it make you different?
